Quality & Test Automation Engineering

What we test

We design testing strategies around the risks that matter to your business, then automate the repetitive checks so people can focus on the scenarios that need judgment. The aim is simple: find issues early, when they're cheapest to fix, and keep every release predictable.

• Functional testing of web, mobile and API-based applications against agreed acceptance criteria.
• Regression suites that run automatically on every change, so old features keep working as new ones ship.
• API and integration testing across the services, databases and third-party systems your product depends on.
• Performance and load testing before launches, migrations and peak trading periods.
• Security checks against common web vulnerabilities, using tools such as OWASP ZAP, as part of the pipeline.

Automation that fits your pipeline

Test automation only pays off when it runs where your developers work. We build suites into your CI/CD pipeline, so every pull request and every build gets the same checks, and failures point to the change that caused them.

Our engineers work with Selenium, Playwright, JUnit, TestNG and Katalon, and with CI tools such as Jenkins and Bamboo. We pick the tools that suit your stack and your team's skills rather than forcing a new framework on you.

• Test strategy: we map your critical user journeys and risks, and agree what to automate first.
• Framework set-up: a maintainable automation framework in your repository, with clear conventions your team can extend.
• Pipeline integration: suites run on every change, with fast feedback on pull requests and full runs before release.
• Reporting: readable results and trends, so product owners can see quality, not just developers.

Quality as a continuous practice

Quality isn't a phase at the end of a project. Our quality engineers work alongside developers from the first sprint, reviewing acceptance criteria, pairing on testability and keeping the automated suites healthy as the product grows.

AI-assisted tools help us write test scaffolding and data faster, which frees quality engineers to explore edge cases and the high-risk business logic that automated checks can miss. The same practice keeps our own products stable; it is described in our 10x team articles.

When to invest in test automation

• Releases slip because manual regression testing takes days.
• Bugs that were fixed keep coming back after later changes.
• You're about to migrate, re-platform or modernize a system and need a safety net.
• You want to release more often without adding more testers.

Engagement models

Pick the model that fits your budget, timeline and how much you want to manage day to day. You can start with one and move to another as the work changes.

• Staff augmentation: individual engineers join your team, work in your tools and ceremonies, and report to your leads.
• Dedicated team: a stable squad that we build around your roadmap, with a Five Frogs lead responsible for delivery and quality.
• Fixed-scope project: an agreed scope, timeline and price for well-defined work such as a module, migration or MVP.
